Season 4 of Creepshow on Shudder is a mixed bag of stories, with some as scary as ever and some failing to hit the mark. Read on for our review.
For nearly as long as horror has existed on film, we’ve had George Romero movies to make it better. From inventing the concept of the modern zombie with Night of the Living Dead to his recently resurfaced gem The Amusement Park, Romero remains a pillar of the genre, a smart, bespectacled filmmaker whose work continues to influence others even after his death.
Anthology’s a great place to start if you haven’t quite got the stomach for something like Talk to Me or Evil Dead Rise, and Creepshow season four is no exception. It’s got all the hallmarks of the film franchise from whence it came. There are, of course, references to Creepshow’s original creators, including a gag based on Steven King’s pen name, and a couple of segments set in Romero’s hometown of Pittsburgh.
The weakest of the lot is, surprisingly, the very first segment of the first episode, “Twenty Minutes With Cassandra,” featuring TikTok star and The Midnight Club alum Ruth Codd doing what can only be described as The Absolute Most in a story that would’ve benefited from a hell of a lot more subtlety. That’s a common complaint for me across a handful of the other stories, though it could be argued that they’re just playing to type, considering Creepshow and Romero’s B-movie origins.
